So I'm a 2014 law graduate that has wanted to go into accountancy. However, I can't apply to big companies due to not being able to pass numerical reasoning and smaller companies aren't interested in me. This has resulted in me looking at other options.
So I have just found a legal assistant job at a high street firm doing family law. I found family law really interesting at Uni and am excited about my new job.
However, now that it's kicked in I'm starting in just over a week , I'm getting really nervous to the point I'm having multiple panic attacks a day. Thinking about having to perform basic office duties like photocopying , telephone etc scares me as I've never had an office job.
I keep thinking them hiring me might have been a mistake and what if I get fired when they realise how incompetent I am. After looking at the role specs I saw I have to interview clients , open case files etc I feel that is too much responsibility and what if I can't deliver.
Another thing that worries me is that I'm a pretty reserved person. In my retail job I was okay with the manager but we didn't connect that well. I got on well with the staff but I wasn't really close to any of them. I just keep thinking what if I don't connect with my new colleagues .
sorry about the ramble , I'm just feeling really stressed right now. Any advice ?
